Differences in the Oil & Gas Tragedies

The massive Oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico on the night of April 10th 2010 resulted in a oil slick that drifted across the Shores of US ruining some of the exotic beaches and endangering the flora and fauna surrounding the waters.
It is well known that whenever USA has suffered losses on a/c of some third Party callousness they swing into action and try to impose the maximum Penalties and get things sorted out to suit their way.Like wise President Obama is seeking nearly 20 Billion Dollars from the British Oil Giant BP to compensate the 11 rig workers who died in the halocaust and to clean up the resulting environmental mess.
Similarly in 1984 nearly 15000 People died and about 500000 people were badly affected by the Methyl isocyanate Gas Leak in Bhopal,India the Perpetrators of the Crime namely the top boss of Union Carbide Warren Anderson was huddled out of India by the then Congress Govt on the instructions of the US Govt.The Congress Govt was the main culprit in letting go off the arrogant CEO who reportedly uttered the words"" BYE BYE INDIA'' at the airport.
The Compensation of 470 Million dollars worked out to a measely INR 25000 per person.Even the Supreme Court was shocked at the out of Court Settlement for such a ridiculous amount.
After 25 years the people of Bhopal are still running from pillar to post to get their due.
The western Media never projected the potent nature of this tragedy which wrought havoc amongst the natives and many innocent People Perished in their sleep as the killer Gas made its way through the narrow alleys & slums and till date about 370 tonnes of chemicals lie in the Union Carbide Compound contaminating the Ground water and with it marauding the future of lacs of powerless people who feel resigned to their fate.
How come Obama is mum over the protests and the muted screams of the infected People of Bhopal when the perpetrator of the Crime is a US Company?Is the value of an Indians life Cheaper than that of the affected Ducks off the louisiana Coastline?
Ironically we have to learn a lesson or two from the Americans who raise a huge alarm over trivial events affecting their nation or their People any where in the world and then manage to strike a bargain that is always favourable to them visa vis the loss suffered.
